After a few seconds of silence, Xiao Bing seemed to understand Lu Beichen’s intentions.

“But even with Elder Lu’s status, it’s probably very difficult for him to change the current situation.”

“Of course, no matter how impressive he is, he’s still a human. Moreover, he’s old now and he lacks the energy of his youth. There aren’t many things he can do, but he won’t let go of this opportunity. This applies to the Wei family and the Qian family from earlier. He wanted to use me to teach them a lesson.”

“Actually, just from what 1 know, there are many people who meet the registration requirements of the Central Guards Brigade. Moreover, there’s a high chance that they would be selected, but their families stopped them from going,” Xiao Bing said.

“That’s the point.” Lin Yi said.

“This has been going on for so many years. If it weren’t for Elder Lu suppressing it, there might have been other issues that arose. Moreover, your Xiao family has stabilized your position as the number one family in Yuhang in just a few months. Don’t think that it’s because 1 helped you behind the scenes.

Most of it was done with a word from Elder Lu. It was all for show.”

“I understand.” Xiao Bing stretched.

“If there’s nothing else, 1’11 go to bed first. I’ll accompany you to Dongsan County tomorrow.”

“Sure.”

“Uh, does that mean I have to do it behind your sister-in-law’s back?”

“What do you think?” Lin Yi said.

“Stay at the hotel tomorrow. Wait for my notice.”

“Sure thing.”

After chatting for a while, the two of them returned to their rooms to sleep.

At around eight in the morning, there was a knock on Lin Yi’s door and Song Jiayu walked in with a smile.

“It’s not even 8:30 yet. Why are you here so early to disturb my rest?” Lin Yi said in a daze.

“I’m just anxious, waiting for you to come over and guide me in my work. Who knows, maybe I’ll become a well-known figure whose name will be added to the national rankings too,” Song Jiayu said.

“But speaking of which, you should be able to make it onto the rankings, right?”

“That kind of list isn’t a good thing; whoever gets on it is jinxed. Don’t think about those things. Focus on what’s in front of you first.”

“Got it.”

Song Jiayu grabbed Lin Yi’s clothes.

“Hurry, hurry, hurry. Go wash up and put on your clothes. It happens to be Monday today. According to tradition, our company has a meeting and we’re missing a heavyweight like yourslef.”

“Wait, wait.”

Lin Yi went to the bathroom to wash up.

Song Jiayu’s enthusiasm for entrepreneurship surprised him.

Not to mention anything else, just looking at the dark circles under her eyes, one could tell that she was often worried.

However, the current capital circle could not be conquered by hard work alone.

Physical strength, intelligence, and risk. All three were indispensable.

For someone as straightforward and genuine as her, if she encountered good people, she could indeed have a promising development.

However, if she met someone with ulterior motives who secretly made things difficult for her, she would probably fall very badly. This was the danger of the capital market.

It was hard to tell who was a good person and who was a bad person.

She wouldn’t even know the way she would end up dying.

Ten minutes later, after Lin Yi had finished washing up, Song Jiayu had prepared the clothes he was going to wear. If she were to put on a maid outfit as well, the scene would be even more perfect.

After the preparations were done, the two of them went to the dining room for a meal.

Then, they went to Song Jiayu’s company.

Yuhang City Novelty Technology Development Co. Ltd.

It was located in a high-tech industrial park in Yuhang City.

There were more than a dozen companies of their size.

Although the location was a little remote, the rent was cheap. Some small and micro-enterprises would choose to start their own business here because they did not have much funds.

The company’s office was not big. It was only about 200 square meters.

There were dozens of computers and some fitness equipment inside. All the company’s belongings were kept here.

The company had set up a table near the door. This was used for internal meetings.

Although it was a little messy, many decisions were made at this table.

There were more than ten people sitting around the table, and they were all very young.

The Monday meeting was set by Song Jiayu to go over the shortcomings of the previous week and discuss the subsequent work plan.

In the past, everyone would have a heated discussion before the official meeting. The scene would be like a fight.

But today, it was very quiet. Everyone was holding an envelope in their hands. They all looked very uniform.

While waiting for Song Jiayu to arrive, a man was idly playing with his phone, looking completely bored.

A man about thirty years old was seated across the table, his skin a bronze color, with a goatee on his chin.

His feet were propped up on the office desk, and he was holding a cigarette in one hand while watching a drama series, appearing more relaxed than anyone else.

The man’s name was Zhang Shengjie, and he was Song Jiayu’s business partner.

Originally, it was the two of them who came up with the idea of offering fitness services by session and by time, and then each contributed 1 million to start the business.

Due to a lack of experience and insufficient market control, the 2 million in startup capital was quickly spent.

If Song Jiayu hadn’t secured 30 million from Lin Yi for the first round of financing and successfully opened up the market in Zhonghai and Yuhang, it’s likely that their venture would have already failed.

“What time is it? Why isn’t he here yet?”

The person who spoke was sitting beside Zhang Shengjie. He was slightly older than Zhang Shengjie and was wearing shorts and slippers. His chin was unshaven and he looked slovenly.

The man’s name was Li Zhenlin. He headed the technical aspect of the company. From his attire, one could tell that he was a typical science and engineering man.

“She called me this morning and said that they would be a bit late. It’s been more than half an hour. 1 think he’ll be here soon.”

Zhang Shengjie stared at his phone and seemed to be talking to himself.

“She was the one who set the meeting time. She even said that no one could be late. Now, she’s late herself and is leaving everyone hanging.”

The person who spoke was also dressed like a typical engineer. He seemed to be very dissatisfied with Song Jiayu’s actions.

“Hasn’t she always been like this? She does things in a hurry and lacks consideration.” Li Zhenlin said.

“Because of her wrong decision, she almost killed our company. If not for the timely investment of 30 million yuan, I would have had a serious talk with her.”

“But I want to know, what did she go off and do? She’s been very secretive since last night.”

“I think she went looking for someone to guide us,” Li Zhenlin said. “I didn’t hear the details.”

“Huh? Guidance?”

The others in the company were unhappy. “This is our company. Why is she looking for someone else to guide us? Is she just messing around?”

“We might need to think about job-hopping. If we let her continue like this, this perfectly good company will end up being ruined.”

“Alright, alright, stop arguing.” Zhang Shengjie said.

“She’ll be here later. Just make it clear then. There’s no need to waste your energy on something like this.”

At this moment, footsteps came from outside the door, along with Song Jiayu’s voice.

“Come, come, come, everyone. 1 brought an expert over. He’ll be joining out meeting today..”
